Most recently, Jeff was seen onstage as the Arbiter at the American Coast Theater Company’s production of Chess! You think RENT and Spelling Bee are beasts of shows? With its two distinct sounds, orchestral choir and pop/rock and being comparable to Les Misérables in that the show is mostly sung, Jeff was challenged vocally in ways he never was before!
Jeff returned to Costa Mesa Playhouse in July of 2023 as part of the ensemble in Jonathan Larson’s RENT! The juxtaposition of the characters in his track, Paul, the man who leads the Life Support Meetings for those living with HIV and AIDS, and “The Man”, the local drug dealer, was powerful & meant a lot to him. Check out his reel! It’s the first one he ever made & he’s super proud of it!
Amidst the craziness and danger of the Covid-19 global pandemic, Jeff has been fortunate enough and thankful to maintain his safety, health and employment. In April of 2020, he moved out of his hometown and crossed the country to move to sunny Southern California! He currently resides in Santa Ana, Orange County. He is fully vaccinated as of April, 2021, boosted as of 12/26/21 and has yet to contract the Corona Virus.
Jeff made his California debut with the Cabrillo Playhouse in San Clemente! Making new friends, he sang songs from Thoroughly Modern Millie, Sunday in the Park With George, Dogfight, I Love You Because and Cabaret.
Jeff recently had his first contract post lockdown! In July of 2021, he returned to Ocean City, New Jersey to perform in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee! as William Barfée (accent agiu) with the Ocean City Theatre Company! With old friends and new alike, he tackled this beast of a show, almost akin to an operetta, and had a blast while doing so. He also made his OCTC TYA debut in Alexander Who’s Not Not Not Not Not Not Going To Move! as Paul and Swoozy, the Dog!
